In this study we report a series of nickel-rich layered cathodes LiNi1-2xCoxMnxO2 (x =0.075,0.05,0.025) prepared from chlorides solution via ultrasonic spray pyrolysis.SEM images illustrate that the samples are submicron-sized particles and the particle sizes increase with the increase of Ni content.LiNio.85Co0.075Mn0.075O2 delivers a discharge capacity of 174.9 mAh g 1 with holding 93% reversible capacity at 1 C after 80 cycles,and can maintain a discharge capacity of 175.3 mAh g 1 at 5 C rate.With increasing Ni content,the initial specific capacity increases while the cycling and rate performance degrades in some extent.These satisfying results demonstrate that spray pyrolysis is a powerful and efficient synthesis technology for producing Ni-rich layered cathode (Ni content > 80%).
